Grace Aberhart

Grace Aberhart is an Australian bassist, songwriter, vocalist, and producer working across Pop, Indie Rock, and Jazz. She began playing bass at 14, instantly inspired by artists including Jaco Pastorius, Tal Wilkenfeld, and Esperanza Spalding. Starting out in her school’s big band, Grace quickly fell in love with the instrument and soon went on to front her own high school rock trio, writing the songs while singing and playing bass. Raised in a musical family, Grace was taught the basics of bass by her father, jazz musician Daryl Aberhart, and grew up listening to artists like Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder. Her first bass gig saw her singing and playing alongside her dad and guitarist Adam Miller. Over the years, Grace has played across a range of projects, continuing to develop her musicianship through both live performance and recording, including recently performing and recording in Sydney with NY based jazz artist Sean Wayland. As a solo artist, she released her debut EP “What I Could Tell You” in 2023, performing bass across the record while building her skills in arrangement and production. Since then, she has continued to expand her genre-spanning practice through songwriting, collaboration, and self-produced releases, while regularly sharing bass-and-vocal performances online. Grace has built an audience of more than 100,000 across Instagram and TikTok, where her bass playing and distinctive vocal style have become central to her artistic identity. She began playing her Sadowsky 5-string in 2024 and currently works as a session bassist and vocalist while continuing to write, produce, and release her own music.
